so that alone is an uncomfortable position for mitch mcconnell and the three new senators forced into this horribly awkward photo-op today including one whose race is not necessarily settled in arizona where they are still counting. so it was awkward enough when mr. mcconnell thought reporters would stand there silently and take their picture after he gave those brief remarks. it got much, much worse when the reporters decided not to just take pictures. they were going to speak. >> the election is behind us, and we're ready to get started. thank you, everyone. >> senator mcconnell, are you comfortable with the investigation that is taking place in the petraeus affair and do you believe that the fbi should have notified congress earlier about this matter? >> thank you everybody. thank you, everybody. >> senator elect flake, do you agree with senator mcconnell? >> did you get your official result, senator flake? is it senator flake? >> we're comfortable. >> are you going to compromise. >> come on guys, go. come on. >> can you not push me and push everybody else. >> yup, push it along. >

mitch mcconnell the republican says no way. i say there will be a compromise before the end of the year. and you say? gerri: there could be a compromise that won't be -- you are wrong when you say as you did in the break republicans are going to blink. the president does not have a mandate. team needs the republicans to work with if. stuart: he won. gerri: he did not in by a huge majority. the president is going to have to bend. he is not running for reelection. we have him full time. stuart: what forces in to bend? gerri: he wants to get a deal. it makes him look good. makes other democrats will good if he gets a deal and i think he will go for that. i know there could be a change. you think it will be straight, the same thing he has been doing. i disagree. we will see a band. stuart: when you think the president will do what he has not done the last four years, change course. gerri: it is a different world. he has four more years -- [talking over each other] gerri: doesn't have to appeal to the hard left. stuart: we disagree.
